Cornish language
Just a note Somthing I found while reading "THE LAST DAYS OF THE CELTS" Just as a note that success with Cymru Fydd as well as Gaelic in Ireland and of An Commun Gaidhealach in Scotland as well as faith in Methodism especialy Methodism in Cornwall in the 19th Century helped a revival of the Cornish language as well as Cornish Indentity. Somthing that might be looked at today for answers to problems facing Wales and Cornwall is the way these men looked to other than Cornish political orginsations as well as Cornish history for answers. From the book. The apparent success of the Gaelic League in Ireland, of Cymru Fydd in Wales and of An Commun Gaidhealach in Scotland encouraged Henry Jenner who was born in Cornwall in 1848 to English and Scotish parents who had tought himself Cornish in the early 1870's using only a small medieval literature to work from. Comprising the Ordinalia,the cycle of three dramas said to have originated in Glasney abbey in the thirteenth or fourteenth centure. a life of Saint Meriasek, the oldest manuscript of which dated back to 1504, and a 15th-century passion poem, The Passion of Our Lord.comprising 259 stanzas. As well as enthusiastic Anglo-Catholic Vicar of Newlyn, Wladislaw Lach-Szyrma, son of a Polish refugee who had settled in England in 1831 after the polish uprising helped revive the Cornish language. Henry jenner and Newlyn, Wladislaw Lach-Szyrma had written findings of a few elderly residents of the Newlyn-Mousehole who could count in Cornish and greet each other that was published by a Philogical Society and with other successes and the apperent success of the Gaelic league in Ireland, of Cymru Fydd in Wales and of An Commun Gaidhealach in Scotland encouraged them to believe there was hope for a revival of Cornish spirit and identity. They were seized with the notion that Cornishness was dissolving and that action needed to be taken to recall people's attention to their roots. Nance a patriot lamented the disappearnce of the Cornishman of the mid-neneteenth century, whose sense of nationality was strong even if unconscious. The Cornishman of that era, he said, had almost forgotten perhaps, that there had ever been a seperate Cornish language, but he daily used many words of it in his own remade Cornish English speech and thought in Celtic fashion by rearanging sentences according to it's rules. He had but the vaguest notion that Cornwall had ever been a separate Celtic nation, but kept much of the ancient British spirit of Independence, and scorned to imitate the ways and speech of the up counrty 'foreigner'. Anglican clergymen like Lach-Szymra played an important part in the nineteenth-century revival of interest in Cornish as well as Henery jenner who looked to Cymru Fydd as well as the Gaelic League in Ireland, and of An Commun Gaidhealach of Scotland for encouragment. In conclusion these men learned from each other and from the Cornish public in order to keep the Cornish language alive.
